Does anyone know where I can buy the "rubber covers" to go over the headphones which came with the phone (kind of like the Samsung one)? I find the headphones too small and loose and always fall out of my ear when I use them. I've tried using the Samsung rubber covers but they're a slightly different shape and don't fit well.
I've got Bluetooth headphones as well which I've been using, but would rather not use those when I'm on a plane etc.
Thanks!
This style of headphones doesn't work for for me either. Try the ones with the Galaxy s9, so much better

I'm looking for a case for my T-Mobile MDA that I can use to put on my arm preferably forearm so I can go jogging and to the gym with. I want to use it as my preferred music device instead of my ipod, esp since I can use the bluetooth headphones ... anyone know of any case?
Have you seen the ipod ones? It'll be snug, but it'll fit.
Krusell has one that fits their cases.
For those of you that have the Jawbone (www.jawbone.com) you are probably like me and don't like the ear "gel" that comes with it. My personal favorite is the ear gel that comes with the Jabra headsets. Well, take the one that came with the Jawbone off and put the one that came with the Jabra on. It fits great and also allows the sound to channel right to your ear like on the Jabra. I can now say I'm totally happy with my Jawbone. Just needed the right ear gel adapter. Hope this post helps others out there. ;-)
Does Jabra gel fit exact as Jawbone one? I am have same problem as you with Jawbone.

It fits very snug and doesn't "rotate" like the stock one that comes with the jawbone but it fits. I went to Jabra's website and ordered a pack of gels just for my Jawbone.
If you're concerned and you have a buddy with a Jabra. Borrow one of the ear gels that he's not using and give it a try for yourself. I think you'll be happy with the results. I've already gotten replies from others that have tried this and everyone that has tried it is happy with the results. One of my buddies even uses his Jawbone without the wire that goes behind the ear. His stays in his ear without the wire since he's put on the Jabra ear gel.
Interesting And I gave out my jabra

You can order a kit of the gels from www.jabra.com, they are cheap. I ordered two sets to have spares.

Do you have the model number of Gels you ordered?
I searched on Jabra with Gels or miniGels and their site shows nothing.

This is weird. I ordered them directly from the website but now i can't find them. I have to head out for a little while but I'll search again when I get back and try to get you the part numbers. Damn Jabra keeps changing their website. Leave it along JABRA...leave it alone! LOL

I found my order. The item number, description and price are as follow:
13059, Jabra MiniGels, $5.50
Hope this helps. Not sure why I could no longer find it on the site but I purchased it directly from Jabra. I ordered two kits for myself.
Just looked over the invoice. Jabra is using Hellodirect.com for their sales site. I just checked Hellodirect.com and they are there. Just go to the site and do a search for the item number 13059. The page will come up for you.
ltxda,
Thanks a lot.
I will check it out today.

Looks like it from the pics. I hope they work for you.
I've ordered them, just in case...
But I find the Jawbone fits comfortably with the oval shaped gel supplied, and stays in my ear without using the earloop.
I'm liking it so far.
Different Ear Gel Mod
I just purchased a new Jawbone and I too think the ear gels supplied from Jawbone are horrible. My problem is not comfort, it is that these ear gels do not seal off the ear very well and let in a lot of ambient noise. It works fine in a quite room but add some ambient noise and it becomes very hard to hear. I have a Jabra and I tried the ear gels from it and I could not get the Jabra ear gels to fit at all. I think it is because the Jabra's speaker faces 90 degrees different then the one on the Jawbone. I need an ear gel the faces directly into my ear, not sideways. Maybe the Jabra gel works great for some people but everyone's ears must be different. I tried something else that worked great for me.
I took off the supplied ear gel and bought some heat shrink tubing. I cut off a fairly short piece and fitted it over ear piece where the original gel should go. After heat shrinking the tube using a lighter, I ended up with a fairly small diameter tube coming directly out of the Jawbone speaker. This ended up small enough that I was able to slide the old ear gel right over the top of the shrunk tube. The tube now coming off of the jawbone speaker is a similar size to the one found on many of today's in ear headphones. I ended up taking one of the gels off of a set of headphones made by skull candy and slid it over this new tube. Now I have an ear gel that fits very snug into my ear canal and does a great job of eliminating ambient noise. It does not come off the Jawbone at a right angle like the Jabra gels do. I love the way it fits and I can wear it all day.
It was surprisingly difficult for me to locate this. Outside of PC headsets, which typically have separate mic and headphone jacks, wired boom mic headsets are almost all 2.5mm. I didn't feel like messing with an adapter (one more thing to lose), and I was considering just splicing a 3.5mm jack onto a 2.5mm headset, when I found this:
It's a Cellet EP35BX. It has an answer button on the ear piece that purports wide compatibility with phones including the CDMA Touch Pro2 (I have the Verizon version). It has the boom mic, it has a detachable ear loop (for those of us who don't trust in ear earpieces to stay steady) albeit an uncomfortable looking one, claims to have some sort of wind noise reduction tech and the boom is flexible. The only two things it's missing that I would have liked is a mute button and a volume dial. If I like it enough, I may try and splice those in someday.
I realize the market for wired headsets is small, and apparently the market for wired with boom mics is even smaller, but just in case anyone else has the same hankering I did, there it is. The image is linked to the cheapest buyer I could find. He has an Amazon store too, I used his standalone store so I could pay with paypal. It's normally $15+, but at the above it's $4.80 + around 3$ shipping.
I hate using the dongle with my wired earphones on my Tilt 2. Even though I mostly use a Motorola S9 BT headset, there are times when the wired earphones are the only option. I prefer the in-ear type sets with silicone cups. I've been looking all over for a set like that with a mini-USB connector so I wouldn't have to use the dongle, but they are nowhere to be found. There are a few sets, including the OEM ones from HTC, but they all have crappy earbuds. I found a set on eBay, but when I got them I was disappointed with the sound quality. They sucked. Decided that I would combine the plug from those with the rest from my nice set of 3.5mm plug earphones. If you've ever cut into the wires on these earphones you know how hard they are to work with. Not wires, actually, more like filaments. They have a cooating on them to prevent shorting so they can be put together without individual insulation. This makes them thinner and more bendable. Unfortunately, it makes them extremely hard to solder. After some considerable time spent figuring out which wire went where (color codes didn't match, one set had 5 wires, the other only 4) I managed to get it all together and now have a mini-USB in-ear silicone headset that sounds awesome and still allows access to the phone controls. No more dongle for me!
Oh yeah, and I can use the FM radio with them.
nvm notice you already saw it

Yeah, and I ordered one last night. Still, there are situations where a corded headset is the only option (airplanes, some government buildings). Not having to use the clumsy OEM dongle is a joy.

heh, i once used my BT headset to listen to music on a plane (shh, dont tell the FAA )
Hey do you, are you able to do a how to, i did think/try, and as try i mean cut the mini usb cord from other headphones, and as u said there were so many difference wires.
Thanks
Not sure about a how-to. The wire colors are different depending on whose headphones you have and whose you sacrifice for the USB end. Soldering these filament wires is a real chore. The color coating is what insulates them from each other in the cord. I scraped the coloring off to expose a little of the copper so I could solder them then I used tiny shrink sleeve to reinsulate them. When all done I slid a larger piece of shrink sleeve over all of it. You'll need a meter to figure out which wire is which, but I can tell you which pins from the USB connector on the phone are which. That'll make it a little easier for you. Give me a day or 2 to make up a diagram.
found good usb dongle for headset

You can get them cheaper on eBay. I got 3 of them for $3 shipped. Amazon charges shipping so you're better off going with eBay. Also make sure you get a bunch of them. The quality of these adapters are pretty bad and they fall apart after a month or so. You get what you pay for.
I've already been through three cases that I chose to return because my headphone jack wouldnt fit far enough into the case to plug into the phone. I was just wondering if anybody else has ran into this problem, and has found a case that your headphones fit into? I'm using Audio Technica ATH-M50's.
